De la Fabrique Street and the basilica, Québec City
The Upper Town Market was held in front of Québec City’s Notre-Dame Basilica. In 1818, a 128-foot wooden hall was added to this gathering and trading place. It is shown here in a painting made around 1829. People from various local communities, including Indigenous people, met there.
